## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_ohs\_im.document\_writer

## About this task

-   The ServiceNow® Document Management \(com.snc.platform\_document\_management\) plugin is installed with Health and Safety applications and enables you to manage your safety documents.

To access your existing safety documents, migrate them from the deprecated table into the new Health and Safety document \[sn\_ohs\_im\_document\_v2\] table. For more information, see [Migrate existing safety documents to the Document library](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/health-and-safety-core/hs-migrate-sync-existing-safety-document-docs-library.md).
